Photography Mentoring
Build the photography business you have always dreamed of.
You don't have to figure it all out on your own
When I started out in the photography world I had so many questions but had no one to speak to and only you tube videos for support.
I wanted time with an expert to help answer all my questions and help me understand how to find my dream clients.
Instead I made many mistakes and took on many learnings which has now led to a successful career in the brand and product photography niche.
Having been in your shoes and worked though all the questions you have I fully understand all the challenges you face in running a photography business.
I love to work with fellow creatives and small business owners to help you achieve your photography goals and challenges. I love to seeing the happiness from my clients who see the results from our sessions as they produce the style the photography they want to create and start working with their dream clients.
No matter where you are on your photography journey, I offer a personalised mentoring service providing support, expert guidance and inspiration, helping you to achieve your photography goals.
Whether you’re a budding enthusiast just starting out, a business owner seeking to enhance your brand with photography skills, or an established professional aiming to refine your craft, my mentoring program is here to empower and support you every step of the way.

FAQs
When I first started my photography business, I had no idea how to actually run the business side, how to price my work, create a fantastic customer experience that would wants clients to work with me again and recommend my service. I also needed to keep working on my photography skills to understand working with natural and artificial lighting, improve my own editing work flow and keep myself feeling inspired to create.
I just wished I had a person who could help advice and guide me to avoid any costly mistakes and to help escalate my growth to work with my ideal clients.
We will meet online via Zoom.
Investing in any form of education to help you learn is always helpful, even with over 15 years experience in the photography industry I will invest in training every year as I belive you can never stop learning or trying new techniques.
